11 Layout

11.1 Layout Guidelines

Figure 31 illustrates an example of a PCB layout for a data acquisition system using the REF2125. Some key

considerations are:

•

•

Decouple other active devices in the system per the device specifications.

•

Using a solid ground plane helps distribute heat and reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise pickup.

•

Place the external components as close to the device as possible. This configuration prevents parasitic errors

(such as the Seebeck effect) from occurring.

•

Do not run sensitive analog traces in parallel with digital traces. Avoid crossing digital and analog traces if

possible, and only make perpendicular crossings when absolutely necessary.
